FoLL Scholarship Information​

The Friends of the Lakewood Libraries, (FoLL), is accepting applications for educational scholarships in various amounts between $500.00 and $1,500.00 to students of high caliber, both in character and academics, and who have a strong desire to further their education. All applicants and/or immediate family members must have volunteered for FoLL and/or directly to Angelo Iacoboni and/or George M. Nye Jr. Libraries.

Additionally, applicants must demonstrate their desire to continue their education beyond high school. The student’s enrollment at any accredited college, university or trade school will be acceptable to meet this qualification. Lastly, letters of recommendation are required to corroborate character and academics.
